Non-NPOV

Some of the unsourced statements, specifically about the hospital lacking state funding with the General Assembly "just a few city blocks away" is not increasing knowledge of Grady, only increasing the non-NPOV of the article. The mention of MARTA's funding plight is completely irrelevant and not NPOV, as well. The same goes for the comment about accused indigent rerouting and Grday EMS' "bad reputation."

This entry is in dire need of update. Above all, there has been a successful movement to transfer Grady's management to a non-profit, A new CEO has been hired and Emory, far from demanding its closure over debt, has - very recently - donated millions of dollars. Moreover, this inflammatory reference to "uncle-toms" of the board is unconstructive and frankly misconstrues the major strides that have taken place since the events on which this entry languishes happened. It's irresponsible.

Disambiguation Needed

I got here by looking for Grady Memorial Hospital in Ohio (indeed, the List of hospitals in Ohio page entry for Grady Memorial Hospital points here). I propose moving the main entry to a disambiguation page and putting this page on a "Grady Memorial Hospital (Georgia)" page. Thoughts? --Jhfrontz (talk) 15:58, 2 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
